A HORRIBLE AFFAIR.
A Farmar, Els Baby, and kuthsr-in-Llw
Instantly Killed.
A Pan Handle Train Dashes Into n Wagon
Near Richmond, Indiana, with
FrfghtfuI Results-DetaiIs.

RICHMOND, Ind. July 20.-[Speciall-
The citizens of this city were shocked
about 1870, this afternoon, on hearing Of
the most frightful railroad accident that
ever occurred in this part of the State.
Train No. II, on the Panhandle, bound
east, due here at 80 p. m, collised with a
two.horse Jaeger wagon in which was
Joseph d. Rich, his wife, baby and mother
in-lsw, Mrs. Hannah Newcomb. The
train was coming at about forty miles an
hour when it struck the carriage just as it
was on the track, tearing it literally to
pieces. One horse was thrown about fifty
feet in the air. Mr.. Rich, the baby and
mother.in-law were killed instantly, Rich
having both arms and legs severed from
his body. Mrs. Rich, his wife, was thrown
to the side few feet from the track. She
sustained very severe injuries, and it is
thought she will die. 1t is said that she is
insane from the fright of the shock. Mrs.
Newcomb was thrown so that her head
struck post, scattering her brains over
the ground in a frightful manner. The
baby was found lynn in the middle of the
track, shapless mass of flesh. The re-
mains were placed on the ground side by
side and were then brought to the city to
be prepared for burial as well as circum
stances will allow. Mr.. Rich was a man
about thirty years of age and is a well to
do farmer, residing about three miles from
this place. Mrs. Hannah Newcomb is a
lady about sixty years Old. The crossing
where this accident happened is one of the
most dangerous that can be imagined and
is surrounded by shrubbery.

A BACK Record .

DELPHI, July 30 Especial IA genuine
sensation was created here this morning
when certain additional developments
came to light concerning the career OF
Amer G. Green, the scoundrei who alb.
Quoted and murdered the Mabbitt girl.
This is nothing more nor less than the rec
ords OF bis amours, including the names
os girls and women who have always been
above suspicion. Prior to the Mabbitt
sensation Green had the reputation of be.
ing a shameless libertine. He had blighted
the life of young girl and taken refuge
in fight. His victim afterward died and
the child never received any as
sistance from him. He had also taken
another young girl from that neighbor-
hood and kept her imprisoned from her
parents for weeks before he allowed her
to return to her home in disgrace. But no
one would ever have been able to form
even fair conception of his imfamy. were
it not for a record, written by Green's own
hand, which was found in his trunk at
Young America after he disappeared last
August, and which is now in the posses
sion of gentleman in that place. This is
diary, in which is carefully kept record
of his licentious conquests. 1t covers a
period of fifteen years, and shows, accord
ing to his own computation, that in this
time he has deliberately accomplished the
ruin of sixty.five girls and married women.
In this time be has lived In several states.

A PECULIAR CASE.
william Hedagpsth, an Indiana Soldier,
Refused q Pension.

Refused Pension.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-The Secretary OF
the Interior to-day denied the claim of
William Hedgapeth, ex-private in the
Forty-second Indiana volunteers. The
case is an uncommon one and has been the
subject of much discussion by pension Of
fcials. Hedgapeth was captured in 1868
and confined as a prisoner at An
deTsonville. After remaining in cap
tivity five months he enlisted in the
Confederate army, he says, to escape star
walton and so informed his fellow pri-
soners and that at the first opportunity he
would desert, and if possible make his way
back TO his old command. After a short
service in the confederate army he carried
ont this intention and finally reached his
old regiment in which he served until dis
charged.
Some years ago Hedgapeth applied for
pension on the ground Of disability con.
tracted while in the Federal service. This
fact was fully sustained. The law pro-
vides that no one who aided directly or
indirectly the enemies of the government
in the late war, shall be permitted to draw
pension. Hecgapeth's brief connection
with the Il iederatcy, made him
amenablt l' law. His motive,

meBt. At last after the lapse OF year, it
reached the Secretary of the Interior for
iual action. The papers in the case,
which are very voluminous, include a
strong protest against payment of the PEN
sion by Commissioner Black.

the Treasury. appointed to examine the
books and accounts OF Mr.. George W.
Evans, Financial and Disbursing agent of
the Department of the Interior, has COM

Evans appointment and July Is, 1887. The
reports show that the disbursements of the
Office for that period aggregate $21, 754,-
363 Is, every cent of which is fully and
satisfactorily sccounted for. The accounts
of all ct the other disbursing agents of the
Interior Department. aggregating about
800. 200, 900 yearly, are also kept by Mr..
Evans, and were shown to be absolutely
correct. The statement is made that while
this is the heaviest disbursing Office under
the Government, its financial operations
in the last twenty years, amounting to
over $50, GOO, 600, there has never been a
loss to the Government of even cent.

HOW HE ESCAPED.
The Trail Taken by McGarigIe Believed

to Have Been Discovered,
CHICAGO, July 27.-The trail taken by
McGarigle, the boodler, is believed by the
authorities to have been discovered. Facts
worked out up to this evening by the de-
tectives and Sheriff Matsou indicate that
Drs. st. John and Dell aided in
the escape. Both doctors are con-
nected with the College of Physicians
and Surgeons, an institution located di-
rectly across the street from the County
Hospital, of which McGarigle was warden,
while acting as the treasurer of the hood
ler's pool. DR.. st. John is part owner of
the schooner Edward r. Blake, which sud.
denly discharged a cargo Saturday, and
after the doctor had an inter.
view with the captain, cleared

destination being Kingston, Ont. During
Saturday afternoon DR.. st. John was
closeted at the jail with McGarigle for sew.

his house to the lake shore where a life

DR.. st. John with DR.. Dell was absent from
home Saturday night, and they have since
steadfastly refused to explain where they
were. The sheriff has the yacht Moffatt
following in the wake of the Blake, but
there is question whether the pursuers
have right to board the schooner. 1t is
stated that McGarigle has with him four
trusty stalwart friends, and even il over

which might result in loss of life.
